Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes, slight rub ahead of the forend and a tiny patch of light pitting towards the muzzle on the lower barrel, some scattered minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering in the forend and stock. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
